NetPM™ - Network Model Management

How ETAP is Used to Optimize Electrical Systems and Improve Asset Management at Kuwait Oil Company

This presentation discusses the Electrical Information Management System (EIMS) in use at Kuwait Oil Company, a power reservation model-based integration solution designed for oil and gas production. The aim was to achieve flexible and configurable approval workflows, integrated with user access management and various notification methods, to optimize operation, enhance visualization, and improve asset management within their complex electrical networks. Their EIMS integrates smart meters with ETAP and GIS, enabling efficient communication, real-time updates, and enhanced reliability of the electrical system. The pilot project includes real-time power monitoring, reduced site visits, expedited workflow, and centralized management of work order processes. The presentation also covers the challenges faced in power reservation planning and the specific ETAP solutions implemented, including NetPM and ETAP eWeb.

How to Creating a Collaborative Model Using ETAP NETPM

This presentation explores the critical role of ETAP's Network Project Manager (NETPM) in creating collaborative models for power systems. It addresses the industry-wide challenge of maintaining accurate, up-to-date electrical system data, highlighting the risks associated with outdated or inaccessible information. Carter Sanders introduces NETPM as a solution, demonstrating how it facilitates the creation of "living models" that evolve with the system. Key topics include the implementation of NETPM, focusing on user roles, permissions, and effective workflows. A customer success story illustrates the tangible benefits of NETPM, including reduced man-hours, faster information transfer, and improved risk mitigation. The presentation also covers important considerations for model management, data access, and adapting service models to incorporate NETPM effectively. By emphasizing the shift from static diagrams to dynamic, collaborative models, this talk aims to showcase how NETPM can enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency in power system management. It concludes by encouraging audiences to explore NETPM's potential in their operations, positioning it as a crucial tool for navigating the complexities of modern electrical systems.
